    Hi all,

    Could be in trouble here ...

    Netflix is looking for a software update to work ... Problem is it seems that there is no jailbreak for latest version (6.2.1)
    Any suggestions?

    Cheers,
    Keith.

    Just read this and tried it there. Clicked Menu rather than Update Later and it brought me into the app. Seems to work ok once in.

    I have the ATV2 on my main tv in the living room so hopefully it keeps working.

    Coincidentally, I got an Amazon Fire TV Stick on Monday which I've put in our second tv. Got Kodi working on it fairly easily (apart from streaming from my Mac, files are visible but won't play for some reason but I'll figure that out) and the Netflix interface is much nicer than that on the ATV2.

    I tried playing something earlier and it worked. I'll investigate more tonight, am only on episode 5 of House of Cards Season 3 so hopefully it still works.
